Here is an estimation on how your credit report and score is affected: Every time you miss a payment or are late you credit score decreases anywhere from 10 up to 20 points for each debt (every month). Then once this account is sold to a collection agency, or transfered to the creditors collection department you are now in a "default" status; which decreases your score even more. Your best bet is to save at least 30% of the balance owed (after the vehicle has been sold), and settle on this debt for that amount. This will help you in the long run... Good Luck!
